Itinerary
We'll take you to a unique location in the Thalang district, that is home to a lotus pond that holds the biggest type of lily pads in the world (the Victoria Amazonica)! Here you will get the exceptional opportunity to stand on a lily or get amazing drone shots of you (and the whole family) on a long tail boat in the middle of the pond, surrounded by these majestic lily pads! *Includes drive time to the attraction
Wat Phra Thong (or Wat Prathong) is a temple that's famous for housing a half-buried golden Buddha statue called Luang Poh Phra Thong (Golden Buddha) in its grounds. The temple is believed to be one of the island’s oldest temples. It received a visit in 1909 by King Rama VI who at that time was still the crown prince and who gave it its official name. *Includes drive time to the attraction
Wat Sri Sunthon (Wat Lipon) is a Buddhist temple not too far from Phuket Town. One of the first things you'll see when entering the temple grounds is the 29-metre-high Sleeping Buddha sculpture, which occupies the top of the wat’s central building. There are also 9 smaller Buddha images in different positions – all facing the entrance as if welcoming you to this holy place of worship. *Includes drive time to the attraction
Wat Phra Nang Sang was built more than 200 years ago and is one of the oldest Thai temples in Phuket. This unusual temple was built when Thalang was the main city of Phuket Island and even was the scene of a battlefield during the Burma war in 1785. Everything is designed with mixed Chinese and Thai mythology influences. *Includes drive time back to your hotel

It was a life memory experience. Our guide Nick was phenomenal guide. He ensure our experience was one we will always remember
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience was so memorable and that Nick made such a great impression. We’ll be sure to share your wonderful feedback with him. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure! 😊
This was a really great tour. The company as soon as we booked was very communicative. They reached out via what's app to ask questions about what we wanted to see most, type of music we like, and what was more priority for us on the tour. They gave us updates up until the day of our tour. The tour guide Nick arrived early but didn't rush us and even made sure we had a chance to eat breakfast if we wanted to before we left. He tailored the tour with our permission to do all the temples first to avoid the crowds and the heat which was a great idea. Which took us to the Lilly pads right at lunch time so we had time to do our photos as well as have lunch. He was very knowledgeable and was the tour guide, driver, and also took photos for us at all the stops. All around great experience! If you can afford it this private tour is the way to go. I highly recommend it!
